Robert asked ...

Irregular riding partner Robert, 62-years-young, who began his adult cycling career on April 24th this year (when he was still only 61), asked:

"Do you ride every Sunday?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is some data from my Excel ride log from the last two years:

 _ ____rides miles _Hours ave mph m/ride _ _____rides miles _Hours ave mph m/ride

 2010 ___101 _6,818.2 455.2 15.0 __67.5 ___2009 ___126 6,216.7 393.8 15.8 __49.3

So, no, I don't ride every Sunday.  Just most of them. 

This year's # of ride stats are skewed relative to last year because: 

 1) I did not ride the day after I did the 300 km brevet in April. 
 2) I finished the 400 km brevet in May at 7:35 am on Sunday, but counted all of the ride as one Saturday ride. 
 3) I stopped riding the 600 km brevet in May after 300.3 miles. Approx 187 were on Saturday. 113 on Sunday (between 1 am and 1+ pm). I counted all of the ride as one Saturday ride. 
 4) There were some hard Saturday rides during the HOT, HOT summer this year that led to me not riding the next day (Sunday).
